Can I get a measure on these please?

[Earl]

Line A been the distance where the counterweight bar at its lowest point would intersect the tripod to the top of the Mount Saddle. (im not sure if it sits higher than the top of the tripod.

Line B been the radius of the counterweight bar fully extended.

Can you confirm what the mount is, HEQ5 Pro or HEQ6 Pro, and both dimensions A and B will depend on the altitude setting, what elevation angle do you want set when the distances are measured?

[Gina]

I can see it's a 5 but you still need the altitude setting.

[Earl]

Heq5 at 52 degrees ish cheers

Measurements are done, I'll post them later tonight or tomorrow morning, had to set up the mount with a reference laser as there is an offset between saddle centre and mount centre when the mount is adjusted to 52N.

[Earl]

Thank you very much appreciated.

Hello Earl,

Here's a drawing showing some dimensions that may help.

The blue dot is the intersection point of the 2 axis relative to the centre top of the tripod.

[Earl]

Thank you for the effort put in guys its much appreciated.

In conclusion to this

a HEQ5 will sit in this and have full freedom of movement?

depending on wall thickness.
